Marlin, the stock rear sway bar is .75" while the stock front sway bar is .875".  The picture I posted is a .875" bar and I have been thinking that it is the front.  I had it laying it next to a rear bar and it seemed to have a different shape.  I am guessing the bar you have is a front since it is .875", otherwise it would be an upgraded rear.

I hope its ok to "high jack" this posting...

As I'm looking for the STOCK NUTS & WASHERS for the stock steel rear sway bar brackets.

Not sure how or why. But the shop I hired to do the a-arm suspension bushings lost them. (Along with other Original hardware).

My car #4503 is pretty much stock and I'm working very hard to keep it that way. (Thanks Mike! for helping w/some of the needed replacements.)

Plus the new nut20201205_155300_HDR[1)s stick out like a "sore thumb" on a original unrestored car. So I'm hoping someone has them and is willing to sell them.

The new nuts and washers can be wire wheeled (or sandblasted, or even sanded with sandpaper) and then simply spray painted with flat black.  HomeDepot has a flat black for around $1 that works well.  Once done they will not be noticeable.  Touch up can be done with more of the flat black sprayed onto a paper plate into a puddle and a torn off match stick used as the paint brush.

...Correction Made, Bar is 0.790" by Calipers. It IS the Stock Rear Bar, because I took It off the Rear of a '74L! Comes with All Original Bushings and Brackets. And Yes! The Bar You have Pictured IS the FRONT Bar, due to the Farther Spacing of the 'Stops'.
